Stage 1
Upon receiving your complaint, we will issue an acknowledgment in writing within 2 working days. A comprehensive investigation will be initiated immediately, and we aim to provide a full written response within 14 working days. In cases where further investigation is required, we will keep you informed of the progress and anticipated timeframes.
Stage 2
If the Stage 1 resolution is unsatisfactory, you may escalate the complaint for an internal independent review. This escalation must be made in writing within 6 months of the Stage 1 response. The review process will be completed within 20 working days, with a written response provided. Should there be any delays, we will provide regular updates on the status of the review.
Stage 3
If you remain dissatisfied with the Stage 2 outcome, you have the right to refer your complaint to the Independent Sector Complaints Adjudication Service (ISCAS) for external review.
